The song was popularized in the movie \u201cWhite Chicks\u201d which was released in 2004, bringing the song to light for Millennials and Generation Z. However, there is so much more ground to cover when it comes to this ultimate trio.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Run-DMC was formed in Hollis, Queens, New York in the early 1980s and consisted of rappers Joseph \u201cRun\u201d Simmons, Darryl \u201cDMC\u201d McDaniels, and DJ Jason \u201cJam Master Jay\u201d Mizell. As kids, Simmons and McDaniels would go to their local park to bust some rhymes and it just so happened to be the same park where they met Mizell. After weeks of drawing in a crowd with their skills, they soon enlisted Run\u2019s older brother, Russell Simmons, to manage their group. This eventually led them to sign with Profile Records, an urban-oriented music label, under the name of Run-DMC (a name that they initially disliked at first.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Run-DMC released their first single, \u201cIt\u2019s Like That (Sucker MC\u2019s), in 1983. In 1984, they released their own self-titled album that contained three major hits, number one being the song, \u201cRock Box,\u201d which was a mix of both rap and rock, everso solidifying the unique sound of this trio.<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RUN DMC - Rock Box (Video)\" width=\"920\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GND7sPNwWko?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>As the rap-world sound changed, so did the look and style of pop culture.
